The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- "House of cards" is also an expression that dates back to 1645 meaning a structure or argument built on a shaky foundation or one that will collapse if a necessary element is removed.
- Structures built by layering in this way, such as Stonehenge, are referred to as "house of cards architecture", which dates back to the Cyclopean and Megalithic ages.
- The origin of the phrase is debated to be from the 18th century England but some believe that it has an American base.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The House of cards article was read about 22,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 49 and blocks with 48: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
How to get House of cards
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
